China to make Another Ghost City? Will Bulldoze 700 Mountains for it!

China's biggest construction firms will spend £2.2bn to flatten 700 mountains levelling the area Lanzhou, allowing developers to build a new metropolis

The project will be China's fifth "state-level development zone" and the first in the country's rapidly developing interior. Others: Shanghai's Pudong and Tianjin's Binhai, home to an unfinished, 120-building replica of Manhattan.

and

Liu Fuyuan, former high-level official at the country's National Development and Reform Commission, said project was unsuitable because Lanzhou is listed as among China's most water-scarce municipalities. "The most important thing is to gather people in places where there is water,"

"China has already entered the middle-income stage of development, but the development is “unbalanced”, especially when it comes to the widening gap between town and country, Mr. Li said.

Disparity means potential, in other words, China’s biggest potential for development in the coming decades lies in the process of urbanization, he added.

[…] A UN report, titled Urban and Rural Areas 2011, predicted that nearly 70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2035. Over the next two decades China will build 20,000 to 50,000 new skyscrapers and more than 170 cities will require mass transit systems by 2025."

i want to see this UN report.this is not some "prediction" this is a man made effort to rid of all things rural there.

"My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. ... That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave." - General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson

Use the same tractors they use in Texas building terraced fields in the stop rampaging water project. Turns out the best natural plant for the first few crops is something called hemp. What the hell is a 100Ft header?

so, ok, let bulldoze 700 mountains where there is no water.

At least the water that does get their is from the sky and the final resting place is in the fields fed waste-water via only gravity and overflow gates. The low level dams of 10 ft and less could always be pumped up using (a device of sorts)in a drought.
